dredge and two tugs belonging to the
Plymouth Dynamite Blasting Company, OF
Plymouth, n. H., arrived at the mouth of
the Saco river Thursday afternoon, to begin
work upon the government contract to re.
move the ledge between the Little islands.
The Biddeford Times of Friday, prints the
following: There was a shooting case 10
Elliot on Wednesday of this week. One &C.
count says that as three school girls about
fourteen years old, daughters of Abner Sta
pies, John Matthews and Samuel Staples,
were eating their lunch by the roadside near
the schoolhouse it district two, they heard the
report of gun, and six small shot entered
one arm of Abner Staples daughter, and one
lodged in the flesh under her left ear The
gun was fred by young man from Dover,
who ran away when he saw what he had done.
Another account is to the effect that the per-
son who fred the shot was a man named
Jerry Cole, who deliberately aimed doubl-
barrelled gun at the girls, and fred both
barrels. The first story seems the more
likely to be true.
few nights ago, some one entered the
stable of l. N. Richardson, Esq, at Steep
Falls, and mixed large quantity of Paris
green with the corn and oats. About four
o'clock in the morning, the hostler fed the
horses as usual. Some eff them refused to
eat, and were saved. One horse died, and
two or three others are probably spoiled,
says the Portland Express.

To the Public.

Future enterprise has always depended
upon past success. This is the case with
the proprietors of the Kennebec Journal,
who, encouraged by constantly increas-
ing circulation and a sharper demand for
advertising space, have decided to greatly
enlarge the Daily Journal by additions to
both the length and width of the sheet. The
enlarged sheet will appear November LIST,
and with its thirty-two long columns,
will afford an increase of more than
twenty-five per cent OF reading matter.
More, it will appear in an entirely new
dress of modern faced type which will
render its appearance most attractive.
Especial care has been taken to select the
clearest type possible so that every column
can be read as easily by the old as by the
young. Every effort will be exerted to
make this new paper necessity to the
public Complete telegraphic news from
the Associated Press and from special
agents, complete State news from large
and wide-awake corps of correspondents
and local reporters, complete county news
from an increased staff attached to the local
department of the paper, all the doings of
State officials and the events transpiring
at the State House, the best farming news,
notes and editorials by able agricultural
editors. interesting stories by the best
authors, specials, paragraphs OF useful
information, market reports and stocks and
real estate transfers are among the good
things that will be found in its columns.
served up in the most pleasing manner.
II will be made one of the best if not the
best paper in the State for professional
men, politicians. merchants, mechanics,
farmers and all who want the cream of
everything in the news line. Feeling
confident that our undertaking involving
the expenditure of several thousand
dollars and vast amount of extra labor
will meet with a generous appreciation
from the public. we undertake the task
most cheertully and work to fulfil our
promises.

The Maryland Revolt.

The revolt of a large number of the
Maryland, is of great significance when
the cause of the revolt Is known. The re-
VOTERS styling themselves independent
democrats, held last Friday night the
opening campaign rally in the city OF
Baltimore. 1t was a very large and
enthusiastic meeting, attended by the best
citizens and addressed by sincere and
honest speakers. BY them, the causes for
for the revolt were ably and strongly set
forth and when considered, they are to say
the least, sufficient to warrant the action
taken by these independent democrats.
The first cause lies in the inability of the
people to secure fair elections. Corrnptions
of every description have crept into the
elections, lists have been falsifed, ballots
have been incorrectly counted. repeaters
employed, tissue ballots cast and
even voters of adverse political
persuasion prevented from voting. In
1875 one of the most brazen frauds on
record in the annals of elections, was
perpetrated in Baltimore. The ballots in
the boxes were burned and others sub
stituted and counted, thus preventing the
Reformers from the exercise of govern
ment which the ballots cast and burned,
undoubtedly gave. Since this wholesale
theft of the municipal government the
democrats have by repeatedly resorting
to fraud retained the advantage then
gained. The fact that the democrats
have it in their power to declare the
result at this election, writes cores
pondent to the Journal, alone, renders the
success OF this present movement doubt
full. The second cause for the revolt is
the electing and retaining in office men
known to be OF most questionable
character, men declared by the
courts to be criminals and

The Labor men have set trap for
President Cleveland. He will be called
upon at Chicago to show how he stands
toward the labor organizations. He has
been asked to lay the corner stone of the
great auditorium building during his ex-
pected visit. 1t seems that non-union men
are at work on it, and the Knights OF
Labor say that if ne takes any part in the
celebration they will not welcome him to
Chicago. 1t is not likely that he will
allow that to influence his action.

The Boston Herald evidently thinks it
has discovered beam in somebody's eyes
for it declares that at the New York demo-
cratic convention and also at the Massa-
chusetts democratic convention federal
officials were 'conspicuously absent" and
that such an absence is new departure
in politics." The Herald should first
pluck the beam from its own eye for if
the majority of people can see at all, they
are pretty sure that federal officials were
there, conspicuous for their "pernicious
activity"

The action of the Chicago Union Vet
eran Club in declining the invitation to
march in the procession at the demon
stration for Cleveland would perhaps be
justly criticised if it were not so thorough
" understood that Cleveland is out on
an electioneering trip, and the assistance
of Union Veterans might be construed
in manner that would not be very
pleasing to the soldiers.
